Small Red Blood Cell Fraction on the UF-1000i Urine Analyzer as a Screening Tool to Detect Dysmorphic Red Blood Cells for Diagnosing Glomerulonephritis

Abstract

UF-%sRBCs had similar diagnostic power to %dRBCs determined by PCM for identifying patients with GN. UF-%sRBCs may be more useful for diagnosing GN in patients with isolated hematuria. Predicting %dRBCs using UF-1000i will provide information on possible GN in patients presenting with asymptomatic hematuria.
